Revenue raising is supposed to be the purview of Congress, mainly because it's best for everyone involved if it's a known policy and not subject to personal whims. We're now seeing the effects of that; it's impossible to make good-faith business investments if you don't know if the investment will be heavily taxed a week after the first hires are made. As for whether or not the people of the US got what they asked for, in a sense, that doesn't matter. Trump might think otherwise, but he is not a king. There's a document that he has to follow. This is a constitutional democratic republic, not just a democracy. The less he follows the rules, the more severe the repercussions could be for both him personally and the country at large.
